Never seen crabs this far up.
While dads gone (fisho-ron i believe he calls himself lol) i decided to take the tinny up to to river and go for some bream and flathead, never expected to pull in a blue manner.. This was all the way up near the old Ascott Water Park. just off tonkin hwy-grt eastern bridge. Thought it might of been a snap but i was anchored and not moving at all and the rod was bending more and more, thought it might of been a flathead or even a cobler.
Have you guys ever seen grabs that far up? Might have to drop some nets and see how many i can pull in, decent size one aswell.
As I've never actually seen people crab or drop pots around there i thought i might give it a shot.
How many pots are you allowed to use per boat? if there is a limit.
Whats a good crab bait, just a big bit of meat like a sambo head? haha

I have a kayak but i believe
I have a kayak but i believe you can have ten nets and keep 10 crabs or 20 a boat if theres more than one person crabbing,,
You need to get a crab gauge from the tackle store to measure them,,you can get your crab bait there as well,,different shops have different types all work pretty good,,
